SECURE CONTROL OF SELF-ENCRYPTING STORAGE DEVICES

摘要

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for secure control of access control enablement and activation on self-encrypting storage devices. In some embodiments, the device may include a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a secure access control module. The secure access control module may include a command processor module configured to receive a request to enable access controls of the NVM from a user, and to enable the access controls. The secure access control module may also include a verification module configured to verify a physical presence of the user. The secure access control module may further include an encryption module to encrypt at least a portion of the NVM in response to an indication of success from the verification module.

主权项

1. A storage device comprising:
a non-volatile memory (NVM); and a secure access control module comprising: a command processor module to receive a request to enable access controls of said NVM, from a user, and to enable said access controls; a verification module to verify a physical presence of said user; and an encryption module to allow encryption of at least a portion of said NVM in response to an indication of success from said verification module.
